I love the soft, almost fuzzy lighting this has! It almost give it a "dreamy" quality. :D Gorgeous texture also.

Thank you! I love the textures as well. They add a very nice quality...without them, this piece would be utterly shameful lol.

XD Do you remember where you got it?

i think i actually found it on google. It didn't look like that, I had to add the colors and stuff, i may have it still saved on my external harddrive. I'll check that out, and if I can find it, i'll let you know, or send it to you :)

Thanks, it's appreciated! I got your "PS" too so I'll do that. :)

PS: I think I looked up "fantasy texture" or something like that.

Wow. That's subtle, but beautiful!

thank you very much! :3

cute, purdy and surreal

teehee thanks :3

I love the horns and the boney spine stuff, look great

lol thanks! :3

Aww. This is so cute :)

teeheehee... Thanks :3

Cuuute! <3

teeeeheee thanks :3

Hmmm - could be a luckdragon sister of Falkor from the Michael Ende novel "Neverending Story" http://goo.gl/tCD5

LOVE Falkor. The book was so much different (and more detailed and interesting) than the movies were!!!

Now you made me want to create a luckdragon :3

Don't forget - I am a German myself and happened to have seen Michael Ende presenting the Never Ending story as a mythical theater play (with only few special effects but a lot of room for fantasy). I can't stand the movies. Neverending story was the book of my childhood in early 80ies.

Hm...

I think I will get it from my bookshelf... now!

hahaha! It was a wonderful novel, I have to say. I wish I could've seen the play--I think that would have been beautiful! I do really like how the movies portrayed Falkor, but I thought the rest was really crummy.

Hm - I have the original novel in red and green (oh my - from 1983. The glue is already breaking a little bit). If you'd have use for it I could scan Falkor as he is portrayed in that book

this one, right? http://www.thealmightyguru.com/Revi.....Story-Soft.jpg

I've got a book with this cover on it, if that's the one you've got?

Nope - I have the very first edition

The first artist was "Roswitha Quadflieg" http://www.raaminpresse.de/ (lot of German stuff)

wow, beautiful!!! I'd love to see what falkor looks like in that edition, if you ever have time!!!

I am sorry - I was out of office today and only had access to a lousy b/w scanner. But anyway here are the results.

Your Browser might resize the pictures to make them fit on your screen. Try to resize them back to 1:1 and you should be able to see the details.

Roswitha Quadflieg did those in pencil, they are green and red, just like the writing in the whole book.

As said, that was back in 1979 when no one has ever talked about Furry Fandom and Japanese manga were hardly known. Nevertheless I love her drawings very much.

We have a decent scanner at work - I should have it up by tomorrow. Glad to be of help

Just keep in mind that back then "Neverending Story" was not intended to be a hit. I love the artists work but it's not all shiny and perfect. They are just pieces of art.

While looking for pictures on the net I found this article - maybe of interest for you: http://goo.gl/dFEk
